  • Patent number: 7666416
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel process for the preparation of glycoproteins by mammalian-cell culture wherein the sialic acid content of the glycoprotein' produced is controlled over a broad range of values by manipulating the cell culture environment. The invention provides for processes in which the sialic acid content of the glycoprotein is modified by changes in cell culture parameters which affect cell specific productivity. Preferred embodiments of the invention include cell culture processes in the osmolality of the cell culture is controlled as well as the concentration of a transcription enhancer during the production phase of the cell culture. The invention further provides for novel preparations of-soluble type 1 tumor necrosis factor immunoglobulin G1 and their uses in the treatment of inflammatory or immune related disorders.

  • Publication number: 20090094685
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for accessing MNP data, which is stored in an MNP memory in a mobile radio network, by a network-external data processing device. The network interface, which in terms of signal flow is arranged between the network-external data processing device and the MNP memory, checks whether the network-external data processing device is authorized to access the MNP data. If the authorization is present, an identification for a communication terminal is transmitted by the network interface from the network-external data processing device to the MNP memory, MNP data which is associated with the communication terminal is read from the MNP memory, and this MNP data is transmitted via the network interface to the network-external data processing device.
